    The usability of Asana is broad since it's available in a variety of platforms that are widely used nowadays. I think that it would be great for people who are constantly on the move and switching devices, since it has allowed me to work from my phone, too. I also think that Asana has proven itself to handle a large quantity of work

    If other google products are already in use, it is very easy to get into Google Tasks as well and everybody probably has a google account, hence, does not need another account as well. It is helpful for simple to do lists, we would not recommend for larger project planning.

    The cost of Jobber is not suitable for a startup - even our company size is hard pressed to squeeze in other areas of business to afford the cost. Zenmaid or other maid-forward services may be better suited since Jobber seems to focus it's offerings on one-off as opposed to recurring services like ours. For business who do in-person estimates like ours, the streamlined estimate feature which causes increased conversion rates makes it worth the cost - as we anecdotally gain more business this way. However, if we switch to an online booking / instant booking model as opposed to in-person estimates, we may not require this feature. Zenmaid has a "gamified" residential booking page that was extremely high converting for us - we received sometimes 30+ inquiries per day due to the ease of use - MANY more completed inquiries than we receive now - but they didn't have a quoting and deposit collection tool - so here we are. If we used their instant booking feature we would have stayed due to the scheduling tool, gap finder, prevention of double booking employees, and cleaning service focus, as well as significantly reduced pricing.

    Pros
    Asana
    • Through it, we were able to communicate and cooperate with the rest of the team to complete the work in the required manner and at the appropriate time.
    • Available for free on Android and iPhone.

    • The best part, Google Tasks is FREE. No paywall, no ads. Just pure productivity. I was looking for some task-management app which is free, since it was difficult to get a paid one. I found that this was the perfect solution for me.
    • It's deeply integrated with other Google services like Gmail and Calendar. It can pick tasks with Gmail from emails, in the form of suggestions. It's up to you, completely. The tasks will appear in your calendar automatically, if it's time or date specific.
    • It's simple and hassle free to insert tasks and complete them. The app loads fast and hardly faces any crash. I encountered no such crashes.
    • It is present in multiple platforms. I would create a task in my phone, and would check it off on my laptop.
    • It's hassle free to add and check off tasks. It was very helpful for me in college.

    Cons
    Asana
    • Asana is not really a project management tool, it is good for simple projects only
    • UI has some glitches (doesn't save preferences, etc.)
    • Integration with other tools (Office 365, MS Project)
    • No reminders if the working period you entered is on holidays

    • It may take some time & adjustments to build a workflow that covers your specific needs.
    • Need a feature to hide tasks that are weeks or even months ahead into the future.
    • Missing a full tab view where you can see all your different lists of tasks.

    • For us, sometimes doesn't save the data, just gone, especially terrible if you have a data interruption since it has zero offline capability.
    • I think the price is way high now, made the mistake of 'upgrading' and cannot go back.
    • In my experience, way too easy to create a duplicate entry of anything, then near impossible to clean up, unless you notice it immediately.
    • I found no merge functionality. Same client has two entries? Too bad.
    • In my experience, does not work with Xero accounting software, took a long time to figure that out especially since they advertise it and that was why we chose both of them, for the supposed integration. For us, Quickbooks was also a pain.
    • In my experience, the app is unusable, must use the web version on a mobile device.
    • In my experience, the integrated payment processing cannot accept debit in Canada, only credit cards.

    • Mobile + Desktop capabilities - Able to use it anywhere, anytime.
    • Task management - Easy to view projects and their progress.
    • Time management - Easy to see what elements require time / how they interrelate and manage the project on an overall basis.
    • Company management - Be able to see from a master dashboard perspective where each project is in its stages of completion.
    • Clear communication - It's visually documented who is doing what at what time so that the whole project gets done.

    Usability
    Asana
    It is very user-friendly. Takes a new employee an hour to start figuring out how the system works. That's an important factor. You don't want to encounter the issue where employees need a week to understand how the system works. For example, JIRA, I tried using it for a week and I still don't understand the complicated layout. Asana has a simple interface. Once you see it, you get it type of program.

    Google is simple to use and easy to understand. Having a one-click to add tasks via Google Calendar is a must for any busy business that manages multiple accounts and/or projects. Compliance and business standards are at the forefront, with notification reminders so you don't forget any of those annual certifications, for example.

    I haven't had to use their support so I can't rate it. The fact that I haven't needed them reflects the ease of use of the product. I would recommend that any new users schedule a complete demo of the product to ensure that they are using it to it's fullest (there's a lot of useful features).

    Since the app is free, we can't expect to get a great support. 1. The app does not even have a dedicated forum where other members can help each other. 2. The app only has a feedback option, which I rarely think visits the team. 3. Even after sending many feedbacks, you can't expect a reply. 4. In a nutshell, if you face any problem, you can just wait. Nothing more than that.

    There is hardly an app that covers it all while staying simple and wrapping up the process. From the filing of the request, everything goes smoothly following a natural progression. Reports are insightful, give you an instant overview and easy to understand. In addition, you can easily track any information from those on clients to expense tracking.

    Asana is a top-tier project management software that helps us organize and track projects from start to finish. It allows us to apply tasks/to-dos to multiple projects without duplication, divide complex projects into smaller tasks, and track project progress. It also helps us organize work on Kanban boards or linear lists. It stands out from the crowd in a big way compared to the competition.

    Google Tasks is not necessarily better than its competitors and certainly not as robust or complex as most to-do applications and platforms available in the market, but because it is automatically integrated into G Suite services--our primary technology interface--this free option has precluded us from needing to explore other tools that are often "better" but not as intuitive when so much time and focus is already spent within the Google ecosystem.

    Square only allows for scheduling to one person. And my team couldn’t see their schedules. As a cleaning company, I need to let cleaners know what their pay is without them seeing what I’m charging. That’s game changer about Kobber.
